Recommended: Hitler and his policies

In 1942, the concentration camp came into the world as a camp where people are detained or confined, usually under harsh conditions and without regard to legal norms of arrest and imprisonment that are acceptable in a constitutional democracy(“Holocaust Encyclopedia”). During The Holocaust, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi S.S. Troops killed eleven million people in these concentration camps alone (Rosenberg). Six million of these people were Jews(Rosenberg). One million of the people killed during he holocaust were children under the age of twelve (Rosenberg). The Holocaust remains a horrific time in history because of Adolf Hitler's actions, the conditions of the concentration camps, and the mistreating of Jews by the Nazi S.S. Troops.
On April 20, 1899 Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau, Austria (Hill 33). In 1898, the Hitler family moved to Linz, the capital of Upper Austria. Seeking a career in the visual arts, Hitler fought bitterly with his father, who wanted him to enter the Habsburg civil service. After his father's death, Hitler eventually persuaded his mother, Klara Hitler, née Pölzl, to permit him to pursue his dream to become an artist(“Holocaust Encyclopedia”). After his mothers death, Hitler moved to Vienna, Italy to try to get acceptance to the Academy of Arts. After leaving Vienna because he got denied twice by the Academy of Arts he moved back home to take care of his mother dying of cancer(www.historyplace). After returning home, he joined the army and fought in World War I between 1914 and 1918(Hill 33). World War I proved a key factor in Adolf Hitler's rise to power(Hill 33).

Some of the members of the SS that escaped Germany and fled to South America (www.historyonthenet).
The Holocaust was a very good observation of early racism. Hitler thought the Jews were the reason for Germany's defeat in World War I. That defeat, the thought of the concentration camps, the mistreatment of Jews by his troops and his actions made the Americans go after him. This caused him to go into hiding and try to evade the Americans. When the Americans found out about the camps they went after Adolf and his SS troops. They had him surrounded and on April 30, 1945 along side his wife, Adolf Hitler put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger(Hill 145).

  • Holocaust Denial and Distortion

    As early as age thirteen, we start learning about the Holocaust in classrooms and in textbooks. We learn that in the 1940s, the German Nazi party (led by Adolph Hitler) intentionally performed a mass genocide in order to try to breed a perfect population of human beings. Jews were the first peoples to be put into ghettos and eventually sent by train to concentration camps like Auschwitz and Buchenwald. At these places, each person was separated from their families and given a number. In essence, these people were no longer people at all; they were machines. An estimation of six million deaths resulting from the Holocaust has been recorded and is mourned by descendants of these people every day. There are, however, some individuals who claim that this horrific event never took place.
